    @Schulz Nice, I have added to shades of "shores" so far but I still don't know exactly what it would be the best approach. Thanks!

    @JOSEPH-PRINCE Try this http://www.rogercooper.com/churchills_1939.zip There is no point to sending the xml, as I have not changed the xml. To make this work, you will need to create art for antitank and tank_destroyer. I don't know of any scenario that used those unit types. The Benelux flag is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Benelux.

    @Major-Arcana The historical situation was fairly interesting. With many US troops withdrawn from Europe, the British government was estimating the Soviets had a 2.5 to 1 superiority in ground forces, but the Allies were superior in the air. Could the British hold the line until the US redeployed? A good scenario for Europe-only game, especially with more realistic air rules. For a world game, one could add Communist guerillas popping up and the Japanese continuing the Pacific war.

    @LaFayette I could also just leave it white and let Russia have a special one. I don't know how to hue shift.

    Been playing Europe instead of the whole world. Couple of thoughts. I am playing all of one side against the AI. Seems to favor the axis quite a bit. As the allies it went to turn 15 before i was tipped the scales. As axis, i feel like i am in the winning position on turn 5, just a matter of time. I think part of that is the size of the navies. The rally points from IW could be a good addition to this map. USA had difficulties finding a place to put a new factory. Germany and USA had fairly similar colors. Germany was also similar to one of the Balkan nations, but that isn't as big of a deal, as they are allied. After like 2 turns, iron was not much of a factor for me. I don't know how much you wanted that to be a factor, but the fuel is what really limits things for me. AI seems to use more of its iron though. SS troops seem to need a higher TUV value. They are picked first for casualties.

    @Mas-N invert values: true or false. default if missing is false. if true, this attachment's condition will be reversed (does not reverse the effect). line 2922 of POS2. Wouldn't that do what you want? Or am i reading something wrong?

    @AprilForever It is fun to play Australia and to optimize its play. Well-timed attacks and retreats can throw the Japanese off-balance and divert the Japanese enough to give the Allies victory. I general, it is more fun to play one of the Allies with everyone else on AI and try to depend on your AI allies.

    I've saw overall negative views for this map campared to revised and anniversary no idea if it because of balance or fun issue. The vanilla one is biased towards Axis. Even inTR set up they still give 6 bid to allies. I think it would be better with Italian presence and reducing armour cost to 5.

    @ff03k64 In the unitAttachment there is the 'canAirBattle' option. Setting it to 'true' should allow those unit to participate in air battles prior to the normal ground battle. Cheers...

    @eregister I looked at that save. The USA player doesn't have the buyTank production rule. Looking through the history, it doesn't show a trigger having run after the armour technology was gained. I looked at other turns when technologies were purchased and I don't see any triggers running after the technologies were purchased. I played one round where I used "edit game" to give the armour technology to USA. After the technology activation phase, the history showed the trigger having run. What version are you using? And could you make a save on the turn after you purchase the armour technology?

    @Trevan That looks like a good generalization of the AA rules.

    @RogerCooper I did not find a connection between '18 Sea Zone' and '29 Sea Zone' for 'Suez Canal'. Also there is no connection between '20 Sea Zone' and '12 Sea Zone' for 'Panama Canal'. There is a connection between '18 Sea Zone' and '19 Sea Zone' for 'Turkish Straits'. Maybe adding the following connections will help. <connection t1="18 Sea Zone" t2="29 Sea Zone"/> <connection t1="12 Sea Zone" t2="20 Sea Zone"/> Not sure just guessing here. Cheers...

    In general, 1941 has more options than 1942, while 1940 can have too many options, making it hard to balance the game. On my Wiki here my articles by year (not all are scenarios) 1937 5 1938 0 1939 124 1940 73 1941 204 1942 233 1943 11 1944 21 1945 16

    Thanks for finding that. I think the fix is for AA to not shoot at air transported units. On the flip side we should be sure they are removed as casualties if the transport is shot down.

    Just an observation but the AI Pirates and Indians are very active in early turns and make for really interesting dynamics, but after about turn 6 they become incredibly passive. Perhaps they assess the Player Nations as having strengthened into a threat not worth fighting against? It's a shame though.

  • I divided Brest and Vilnius.

    I think it would be way too easy to defend against the Russians if territories 2 and 4 were merged. I was initially hesitant because I've always hated how, on the Great War map, it's a no-brainer for the Russian player to just hold the Belarus–Kiev–Warsaw line. (There's a similar issue in Domination 1914 as well.) It was also a no-brainer for the Germans to follow that route. Territory 4 (Brest) shouldn't create the same issue, and luckily I don't think it will, because:

    In the Great War, the key territory (Kiev, which blocks both the German and Austrian advances at the same time) is four territories away from Berlin and Vienna, but here it's much closer. The Central Powers will also have Hungarian and Prussian factories. The Russians will also get an increasing IPC penalty each round, so they won't be able to easily hold territory 4 and block the routes. Plus, the Austrians can move 7 in that case and take Kiev if Russia undercommits to that front.

    Territory 4 should probably be worth the fewest IPCs to offset its strategic importance. I'm still not a fan of it, but combining territories 2 and 4 sounds even worse to me. I don't know—maybe I can find another way to further reduce the importance of territory 4.

    I'm also not sure how to handle the Serbian front. Austria taking on Serbia while holding Galicia at the same time in 1914 was highly unlikely. In most games, Austria shouldn't be able to do both.

    Another issue is how to represent the Serbs. Having the Russians represent them would be problematic since all Russian units are meant to be removed if the Revolution triggers. Serbian units shouldn't disappear just because of the Russian Revolution.

    I don't like making the Serbs Allied-neutral either, since it would let Austria move everything to the east until Italy enters the war in Round 4.
